July 7th – We arrived at the ballpark early and instead of having our traditional hot dog and beer, we decided to have burgers at the Mr. Machine restaurant in the outfield. This is another of the newer ballparks and it is nice. Once thing that surprised me though, was that for a new park […]

Great American Ballpark Cincinnati, Ohio Team R H E Arizona Diamondbacks 4 7 1 Cincinnati Reds 5 8 0 Highlights I have to say this was kind of a snoozer for most of the game with the fans seemingly more excited about the Brandon Phillips jersey give-away than the possibility of earning their 35th win […]

July 2nd – What a beautiful night for a ball game – the weather was perfect! Busch Stadium is a nice new stadium in downtown St. Louis with a great view of the Arch. They have a great electronic scoreboard that doesn’t show just the score – for some of the games, you can actually […]

June 25 -Wrigley Field reminded me some of Fenway – it is baseball tradition, it still has the manual scoreboard, it is located in the old neighborhood and there is obstructed view seating. We did not have “obstructed view” seats but as you can see from the pictures, we did have a post to deal […]

Busch Stadium St. Louis, Missouri Team R H E Arizona Diamondbacks 3 4 1 St. Louis Cardinals 11 13 0 Highlights Well, no danger of missing any late inning heroics in this game since we stayed in a RV park just 2 miles from Busch Stadium which allowed us the luxury of walking to and […]

Wrigley Field Chicago, Illinois Team R H E Colorado Rockies 9 13 1 Chicago Cubs 10 18 1 Highlights As any baseball aficionado knows, Wrigley Field is located in the north side of town. We stayed in a RV park in Tinley Park, which is in the southern suburbs that as it turns out is […]

June 18th – Before the game we went to the Miller Brewery and took their tour. After the tour we enjoyed our first sample of beer in the Miller Inn and enjoyed a nice visit with some other baseball fans from Texas. As we crossed the street to the outdoor Beer Garden where we would […]

We are staying in a campground in the Chicago suburb of Tinley Park so we took the Metra (train) into the city and then took the CTA (subway or L as they call it) to the game. It was a picture perfect day for a ballgame. It started out as a great game for the […]

US Cellular Field Chicago, Illinois Team R H E Florida Marlins 5 6 2 Chicago White Sox 4 11 0 Highlights It looked like Jon Garland was on his way to easily earn his 4th victory against 3 loses as he breezed thru the first 7 innings surrendering just 1 run on 2 hits and […]

Miller Park Milwaukee, Wisconsin Team R H E San Francisco Giants 4 7 0 Milwaukee Brewers 5 10 1 Highlights Yovani Gallardo had the kind of evening every major league rookie pitcher hopes for in his debut. He pitched an effective 6 1/3 innings giving up 3 earned runs and helped himself out offensively by […]
